Hybrid Mixtures Explosions: When Vapours Met Dusts

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the peculiar aspects of hybrid mixtures explosion as regard to vapours or dusts explosions. This work has been focused on pharmaceutical products from excipients (magnesium stearate), vitamins (niacin) to active principles (antibiotics) and their associated solvants (ethanol, diisopropyl ether, toluene. . .). Explosion spheres have been used to determined ...

Spectral Signatures of Gravitationally Confined Thermonuclear Supernova Explosions

We consider some of the spectral and polarimetric signatures of the gravitational confined detonation scenario for Type Ia supernova explosions. In this model, material produced by an off-center deflagration (which itself fails to produce the explosion) forms a metal-rich atmosphere above the white dwarf surface. Using hydrodynamical simulations, we show that this atmosphere is compressed and a...

Surface Transitions for Confined Associating Mixtures

Thin films of binary mixtures that interact through isotropic forces and directionally specific “hydrogen bonding” are considered through Monte Carlo simulations. We show, in good agreement with experiment, that the single phase of these mixtures can be stabilized or destabilized on confinement. These results resolve a long standing controversy, since previous theories suggest that confinement ...
